Band Entertains Visitors in Style Nottingham Concert Band entertained visitors to a celebratory picnic at Patchings Farm Art Centre near Calverton in August to mark the centre’s 25th anniversary. The concert included a ‘pick-&-mix’ first half, where Conductor R o b e r t Parker invited members of the audience to help choose some of the pieces for the 50-strong band to play. The second half of the programme took the form of a mini-Proms concert, complete with enthusiastic singing and flag-waving. ‘The selection of music, the quality and the atmosphere was just what we wanted and we couldn’t have asked for more,’ said Patchings’ Chas Wood. ‘ It really helped us celebrate in style!’ For more about Nottingham Concert Band, visit www.nottinghamconcertband.org or call 01949 860126.

Old songs, new songs and Xmas! The Grand Central Chorus members returned to their first rehearsal after the International competition in Canada, looking to gently flex their vocal chords and ease their way back in.

Obtainable from Brian on 01773749737 , Nelson on 07967091202 or the e-mail below. The concert will feature Gem Ladies Chorus from Long Eaton as well as Grand Central and their quartets.

If you are seeking an entertainment contact Peter on 01530243822 or e-mail publicity.gcc@gmail. com. Any number of singers can be provided from four to forty. Fees are negotiable.

Inspector Annie Yates talks...
Halloween can be a trick or a treat this year depending upon a number of factors.
Traditionally the next couple of weeks are a very busy time for police officers. We all like to make the most of a happy occasion and celebrations for both Halloween and Bonfire Night tend to spill over into the previous and following days and nights. But part and parcel of these celebrations comes the unfortunate increase in calls to the police. I’ll be donning the vampire fangs, gorging on treacle toffee and enjoying the light display in the night’s sky with the rest of you, but this year I would like to make a few requests. Parents, be aware of where your children are Trick or Treating and who they are with. Ensure they keep it light-hearted and respectful and don’t let them stay out too late. I can say with confidence that most people do not want goblins and ghouls knocking on their doors at midnight. In fact, why not grab a Jack-o’lantern and join your children. You never know, you may get a few sweets thrown your way for your efforts. During Bonfire Night celebrations, please keep your own and others’ safety paramount in your mind. Be considerate of your neighbours, inform them if you are planning an event, and, equally, be tolerant of others’ parties.
And don’t forget your pets, while you are out having fun watching and listening to the rockets flashing and banging, your animals are probably very frightened. Ensure you keep them indoors to reduce the impact of the noise and avoid the chances of them escaping. The Fireworks Regulations 2004 prohibits the use of fireworks after 11pm. On 5 November fireworks can be used until midnight. Breaches of this curfew can result in a penalty notice of £80. Remember, the purchase or possession of fireworks by those under the age of 18 is illegal, as is the sale or supply of fireworks to someone under 18. The throwing of fireworks, no matter target, is not only illegal, but wholly unacceptable and dangerous. You can be sure it will be dealt with robustly by my officers. We will be conducting increased street patrols and officers have the power to stop and search anyone believed to be in contravention of the firework laws. Any breach amounts to a criminal offence and can result in fines, prosecution and even jail. And as well as posing a threat to your criminal record, the misuse of fireworks, including sparklers, can also inflict severe burns, which can leave scars, cause blindness and even death. No one wants that on their conscience. Let’s all have fun this season, but let’s be careful as well.

CCTV in Sherwood A unique feature of Sherwood and Mapperley Park Neighbourhood Watch is the CCTV system which covers a large part of the central shopping area of Mansfield Road and the surrounding streets. The system itself is owned and maintained by the Neighbourhood Watch and has been responsible for bringing many criminals to justice that may otherwise have got away with their crimes. It is highly valued by Nottinghamshire Police who regularly use the CCTV service in their enquiries. If you are a Sherwood resident or a business owner and you would like to know whether your home or place of business is covered by the system then please contact us and we can let you know. There are still major parts of the area that are not covered by the CCTV system and we are currently looking at the most cost effective way of extending it. If you would like to help us in this by offering a donation or expert help we would love to hear from you.

Ella’s Teen Talk:
Handling Parents
...especially at Christmas!
The date was the 26th July. I was completely unprepared. I couldn’t believe it. I was happily spending my day taking a lovely walk and shopping with my mum when she turned to me and said ‘’Oh I better start thinking about Christmas presents!’’ It was July.
Ella Higginbotham aged 15
Don’t get me wrong I love getting in the Christmas spirit; going out and buying lots of presents then coming back home and wrapping them with a warming cup of tea and my favourite Christmas CD playing in the background, but that normally occurs about a week before Christmas. Why do some parents insist on starting the preparations for Christmas before the Halloween costumes are even in the shops? Bless them; they just can’t contain their excitement! Well when I say parents, this usually applies to mums. In fact the dads are quite the opposite, waiting until Christmas Eve to approach the shops with a panicked look as they rummage through the scraps of what the women haven’t already brought. So my advice to you is to leave them both to it and just aim to start your preparations somewhere in between so if your parents do get stressed, it isn’t your problem (but don’t tell them that, that wouldn’t help with their stress!) Another parental bug bare of mine around Christmas is the food shopping. Do they think that there will be food shortages for 9 months after Christmas?! Seriously there are only so many mince pies I can eat before I actually resort to fruit as a substitute. I really do appreciate the effort that goes into Christmas dinner (my favourite meal of the year) and indeed the effort in the whole day in general, but it is ruined when we live off the left overs for weeks afterwards. My last column was about handling money so here is an extra tip for parents: buy half the food that you think you need, for the sake of the children! In my opinion, winter is the best time of year; coming home from school after battling through the cold and snow to be greeted with a hot chocolate Next and pyjamas at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, Christmas is just the icing on the cake. issue: Everyone loves the festivities no matter how many times they have been through New it or how hard it was to get there so my Years last tip is this, even if your parents get too overexcited about buying presents or Resolutions... decorating the tree don’t ruin it, it is a a good thing? magical time for them.

Thanks to a Nottinghamshire charity, a young dog has recovered from horrific neglect and injuries – and found the loving home he has probably never had. Chips, a Staffordshire bull terrier was only three months old when rescued by Animal Accident Rescue Unit. This vulnerable youngster was enduring a fractured skull, swollen limbs and multiple cigarette burns – clear signs of abuse. Helped by funds and dedicated care from the charity’s volunteers, Chips recovered from his ordeal - with the best news being that he recently moved into his real home! As for all the charity’s adoption animals, Chips was micro-chipped, neutered plus flea and worm treated; and his new home pre-checked. The charity, however, still has many other ‘Chips’ – rescued, loving cats and dogs yearning for that chance of a home. To find out who is currently waiting for that special place, visit www.aaru.org. uk, or to enquire, submit your telephone number and postcode by email to admin@aaru.org.uk or call 0115-9321555. Following his traumatic experience, Chips enjoyed the comfort of a foster home provided by Animal Accident Rescue Unit volunteers. More fosterers, however, are urgently needed for other equally needy rescued animals. Learn more about this enormously rewarding role by either emailing as above or calling the Recruitment Officer on 01159563799. For general and other information, call the charity’s lifeline number 0115-9321555 or visit www.aaru. org.uk.

Website prices that are too hot to handle... We’re not sure if you’ve noticed, but Synergy Design has gone into overdrive with a new advertising campaign. Unfortunately, only a week after launch our bus campaign came to a grinding halt when the bus was totally gutted after catching fire (due to an engine problem, not our scorching hot deals). We’re glad to say that nobody was injured and that the new bus is now back on the roads. WHY? - The reason we are making such a big hoo-hah is because we have come up with a way for you to get a website that’s as cheap as an everyday boring static site, but as beautifully designed & mobile device friendly as a totally bespoke site. IN SHORT! - We have combined fantastic web design with unbeatable prices - FACT! SCARY! - Most people get worried when you mention websites, but on our site we explain everything you need to know in Layman’s terms. We have also put a great deal of thought into how the order process works, we have specially designed content forms, which we believe makes life so much easier when you want to get on-line. WOW! - With amazing 5-page websites that we build for you, from as little as £20 per month, you’d be mad not to at least visit our website and have a look for yourself. If you already have a website but paying high hosting fee’s, we carry on with our unbeatable prices for your needs too with hosting including one mailbox for just £45 for the entire year!

Sweet treatS
Banoffi Pie
Kieran’s Key Lime Pie
300g ginger biscuits 70g butter 397g tin condensed milk or caramel 3 bananas 300ml whipping cream chocolate for decoration 20cm spring based cake tin Method
This recipe is adapted from a BBC Food recipe. 375g gluten free digestive biscuiits 150g butter 8 large limes (zest & juice) 1 pint double cream 397g tin condensed milk to decorate (optional) 85g creme fraiche If using condensed milk - place tin in a 1 tsp lime zest large pan of boiling water - making sure the tin is completely covered. Boil the tin for 2 to 3 hours. Keep checking and topping up with boiling water. This is very important. If the tin isn’t covered it could explode! If this is too much for you just use a tin of caramel. Grease the tin. I line with greaseproof paper to make it easier to get the pudding out. Crush the ginger biscuits (I use a food processor) to fine crumbs. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Once melted, add the biscuit crumbs and mix well. Line the bottom of the tin with the mixture and press up the sides. Use a flat bottomed jar to press the mixture firmly then place in fridge to set for a couple of hours. Slice the bananas and place on the biscuit base. Pour over the caramel (if using boiled condensed milk be very careful when opening the tin). Whip the cream and when cool cover the top with cream. Decorate with chocolate shavings or sprinkles.
Method
Crush the biscuits either in a food processor or in a bag with a rolling pin. Melt the butter in a pan and stir in the crushed biscuits. The mixture can be split between 2 x 18cm tins or 1 x 23cm tin. Press mixture into tins & chill in the fridge. Put lime juice, condensed milk & cream in a bowl and whisk for 1-2 mins. Add lime zest to mixture (save a tsp for decoration) and stir in. Pour mixture onto biscuit bases and chill for 2 hours or overnight. Decorate with crème fraiche and lime zest
Strawberry Tart
This recipe is adapted from one by Jocelyn Dimbleby in a Sainsbury’s cook book called Sweet Dreams.
175g plain flour 60g caster sugar 100g butter 300ml creme fraiche 350g strawberries 3 tbsp strawberry jam finely grated rind & juice of 1 orange (3 tbsp) Method
Sift flour & sugar into a bowl. Melt butter in a pan along with the orange rind and 2tbsp juice. Once melted add to bowl and mix well until a smooth dough is formed. Press mixture into a 24cm flan tin. Using hands press over the bottom & up the sides then chill in fridge for 30 mins. Heat oven to 200°C. Bake pastry blind for 20 mins until edges are pale golden colour. Take out oven and pour in creme fraiche then return to oven for 10 mins. Once tart is cold decorate with strawbs. Gently heat the strawberry jam with a tbsp of orange juice and spoon over the top to glaze. Chill until ready to serve.

What is Healthwatch? The primary task of local Healthwatch is to gather evidence from the views and experiences of patients, service users, carers and the public about their local health and social care services. Healthwatch then provides feedback (both positive or critical) to health and social care commissioners, or in serious case scenarios, to the Care Quality Commission or Healthwatch England, in order to effect service change or improvement. Why is Healthwatch needed? Firstly, the structure of the NHS is changing fast and appears to be getting more complicated. Secondly, the current severe budget cuts in Local Authority expenditure (which includes social care services) and the no budget growth position for the NHS (having to meet the needs of an ageing population, more people with long term conditions and rising cost of treatment), is putting increasing strain on the health and social care system. A third factor is the aspiration, long-standing but seldom achieved, of better integrating health and social care services where it makes sense and would save resources. What is Healthwatch Nottinghamshire doing? Healthwatch Nottinghamshire is at the stage of making itself better known and familiar to the people of Nottinghamshire. The “Have Your Say Forms” are available on the webpage. Leaflets are also being distributed and all people who are on the mailing list (some 800 people and rising) receive the monthly newsletter. We are currently recruiting volunteers to act as Healthwatch “champions” or Healthwatch outreach volunteers. So if you want to get involved, perhaps have your say, receive a newsletter, become a volunteer or just to get in touch with your local Healthwatch, then: Phone: 0115 963 5179 E: info@healthwatchnottinghamshire.co.uk www.healthwatchnottinghamshire.co.uk Twitter: @HWNotts

Introduction offer: £25 (instead of £45) This offer is valid for a 1 hour Tui Na massage, available on your first appointment, including a free diagnosis. For appointments ring Daniela Harrison on 07503 015 530 or Email to tuina.daniela@aim.com
TUI NA—Therapeutic Massage Tui Na is not like an ordinary massage that you receive in a beauty salon, it is much more than that and it feels so much better. It is a therapeutic massage, based on Chinese medicine principles and the idea is to open up energy pathways, releasing tension and restoring the balance of the body. Tui Na is fairly new to the UK, but has been used in China for thousands of years. Nearly everybody who tries it loves it. It is relaxing and releases all the tensions built up in our daily lives, or used specifically for pains and aches. It can also play part in preventing illnesses and in anti-aging by strengthening the immune system and calming the mind. While keeping muscles supple, joints flexible and balancing the energies of the body, it also initiates the body’s own healing mechanisms'.
Tui Na is applied fully dressed and that’s why suitable for everybody, regardless their religion, sex, age or nationality. Daniela Harrison is one of the Tui Na practitioners in Nottingham, offering her services at the Grange Health Clinic (Sherwood) and the Bay Therapy Centre (West Bridgford). For further information or to book your appointment ring 07503 015530 or Email to tuina.daniela@aim.com. To advertise call 07800 633101 or email: info@ng5.org.uk

Are you thriving... or surviving..?
Poor Self Esteem.. Lacking Self Belief.. Worn-out with Problems…….
Sometimes, problems come and go. If we have strong personal foundations, and are resourced enough, we are more likely to move on quickly. If we are lacking self-esteem or, we are dogged by unhappy experiences and limiting beliefs - perhaps from childhood experiences - we may not thrive as easily.

Can you help? Do you have a free hour or two once a month?
Action on Hearing Loss (previously the RNID) has set up free hearing aid drop-ins around Nottinghamshire. It takes time to adapt to using hearing aids – getting used to new sounds as well as managing the hearing aids themselves and we are looking for people to help us run free drop-in clinics to support hard of hearing people in the local community. You can find us at: Sherwood Methodist Church Every 3rd Wednesday of the month 10am-11am We are looking for people who can spare a couple of hours each month to support the local community officer and help with any of the following jobs: • Re-tubing hearing aids and battery replacement • Greeting people using the service • Completing paper work • Giving advice and support to people to make the most of their hearing aids We will give you full training, expenses and all the support you need. One current volunteer says ‘It’s very satisfying to know that the two hours I give the charity each month benefits so many people.’ If you are interested or would like more information please contact: gayle.wand@hearingloss.org.uk heartohelp.nottingham@hearingloss.org.uk
